When the plane landed, airport police and medics were waiting at the jetway. Burton was unconscious but still officially alive. He died later at the hospital. The autopsy found bruises and scratches from blunt-force trauma to his face, neck and torso. "He was essentially beaten from the top of his head down to his ankles," says Kent Spence, his mother's attorney. "He died of positional and compressional asphyxia."

Eminem is seeking joint custody of the couple's four-year...
...rotate his hips and shoulders on his downswing, which produced prodigious tee shots. But sometimes his arms couldn't keep up with the rest of his body, and he'd yank the ball into the rough. Harmon had Woods restrict his hip turn and slow the rotation of his torso on the downswing. He weakened his grip slightly, turning the back of his left hand more square to the target. And as he gained more strength in his forearms, Woods held the clubface square to the target line--with his left wrist slightly bowed--for a crucial split second longer...
